Spinach Stuffed Flounder
This Spinach Stuffed Flounder is SO DELICIOUS! Tender flounder fillets filled with a creamy spinach, cream cheese, and feta mixture, baked to perfection.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 flounder fillets about 4-6 ounces each, boneless & skinless
- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning or to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 3 oz baby spinach roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, and chopped spinach. Season with a pinch of Old Bay seasoning and mix until creamy.
- Drizzle olive oil over the flounder fillets and sprinkle with the remaining Old Bay seasoning, coating evenly.
- Spoon a generous amount of the spinach filling onto one end of each fillet, then gently roll the fillet over the filling. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Arrange the stuffed fillets seam-side down in a greased baking dish, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the fish flakes easily and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with rice or a green salad.
